Epicardial Adipose Tissue Is Associated with Plaque Burden and Composition and Provides Incremental Value for the Prediction of Cardiac Outcome. A Clinical Cardiac Computed Tomography Angiography Study - Fig 4

A: Patients with >1 plaque (group 3, n = 71) exhibit significantly higher epicardial adipose tissue (eCAT) volumes compared to patients without any plaque (group 1, n = 68) or only one plaque (group 2, n = 13). B/C: Analysis per tertiles reveals an increase of total plaque volume (A) and maximum coronary luminal narrowing (B) for higher eCAT (epicardial adipose tissue) volumes.
